It wasn't working. I think I've finally tracked it down.

On Mac OS X, the gcl configure option:

--enable-maxpage=256*1024

causes gcl to segfault immediately upon starting.

I'm building axiom now on my Mac, I'm pretty sure it's using the 
contained gcl (the one in build/), and it seems to be working.

What's the default size for this parameter? I'm going to try 128*1024 to 
see if it works, but it's likely pointing to some kind of memory 
management bug, isn't it.

The current build is working with the following configure flags:

# ./configure 
--prefix=/Users/humberto/src/axiom/test/build/powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0 
--disable-xgcl --enable-locbfd --disable-statsysbfd 
--enable-machine=powerpc-macosx '--enable-vssize=65536*2' 
--disable-tkconfig --disable-x
